Our client was rear-ended by a landscaping truck and knocked unconscious. His concussion symptoms never went away, and his doctors testified that they are likely permanent. The defense denied liability and claimed that the Plaintiff didn’t sustain a brain injury. This 2025 trial resulted in a record-setting verdict in DuPage County for a traumatic brain injury caused by a car accident as confirmed by the Daily Law Bulletin’s Jury Verdict Reporter.
There were multiple issues to overcome on this case: our client’s doctors didn’t diagnose a concussion until 1.5 years after the collision, the defense blamed the driver of our client’s car for stopping quickly to avoid an accident in front of them, they blamed the accident in front of them for causing the chain reaction, and they hired a neurologist to say the diagnosis was wrong and that his symptoms were not caused by the crash. The defense suggested a verdict of $26,000-$31,000.
